According to "the negro artist and the racial mountain," what does jazz do?
a- gives african american artists some freedom
b- accurately depict the african american experience
c- forge a bond between whites and blacks
d-provide relief from the depression

The correct answer is option B "accurately depict the African American experience". Langston Hughes the author of "The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain", is considered a writer that introduced jazz in much of his poetry. In Hughes own words, he wrote so many jazz poems because "jazz to me is one of the inherent expressions of Negro life in America" (1512).

B. Accurately depict the African American experience

Explanation:

In his short essay The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain, Langston Hughes promotes the belief that African-American art has its distinctiveness and therefore, Negros should embrace it and be proud of who they are and where they come from, instead of copying the white culture and its characteristics, an action that he harshly criticized. In this distinctiveness that Hughes mentions, jazz is one of them, as it accurately describes the African American experience fill with revolts, joy, work, smile and city life, as he wrote:

But jazz to me is one of the inherent expressions of Negro life in America; the eternal tom-tom beating in the Negro soul--the tom-tom of revolt against weariness in a white world, a world of subway trains, and work, work, work; the tom-tom of joy and laughter, and pain swallowed in a smile.
